Justice Hugh McLean of the Ottawa Superior Court said on Monday, "Tooting a horn is not an expression of any great thought I'm aware of," before handing down the decision.
In addition to the honking of horns protesters have set up bouncy castles for children, held impromptu dance parties and played street hockey in front of Canada's parliament.
Following the injunction it appears the truckers protesting in Ottawa have complied with the order. Numerous live streams broadcast on YouTube show a significantly quieter downtown environment than what has been witnessed in over a week of sustained protests.
The injunction follows Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson declaring an official "state of emergency" on Sunday Feb. 6 when he said that the protests posed a "serious danger and threat to the safety and security of residents."
Comment: Really?
Lawyer, Paul Champ, who is representing residents of the city of Ottawa in a proposed class-action lawsuit says that the honking has caused harm to city residents. Leading the potential class-action is Ottawa resident Zexi Li, who filed a statement of claim on Friday Feb. 4 at the Ontario Superior Court of Justice. The suit is seeking $4.8 million in damages for private nuisance and an additional $5 million in punitive damages.
Ottawa police are also attempting to cut off the trucker's supply of fuel warning on Monday that "anyone found bringing fuel to the demonstration trucks in the red zone could be subject to arrest and charges."
Comment:
According to Ottawa police, "seven people have been arrested and more than 100 have been issued tickets in connection to 'demonstration-related enforcement.'" A video has surfaced online showing a young man being arrested for carrying a Jerry can.
The simple Jerry can has become a symbol of dissent in Canada's capital after a single post went viral online stating, "One of the greatest trolls in history will take place tomorrow. If you live in Ottawa grab a jerry can and join the party. Everyone is gonna be walking around with one in protest. You don't need gas. Just the jerry can."
Protesters and their supporters are now trolling the Ottawa Police by carrying around empty Jerry cans or Jerry cans filled with liquids, other than fuel, including windshield washer fluid and water.
The protests, which have stretched into a second week, have been mirrored by numerous other protests in practically every major city in Canada and have also attracted international attention.
In the UK, Ireland and Scotland protesters gathered in multiple cities on Saturday Feb. 5 to protest COVID-19 restrictions implemented by their governments inspired by the Canadian Freedom Convoy.
Protests sprung up in Newcastle, Middlesbrough, Leeds, Manchester, Liverpool, Chester, Birmingham, and London.

Seriously I did.
It struck me as beautiful. The Ottawa River forms the boundary betwixt the Providences I believe and I could only find the origin of the name by checking the River report and really that almost seems like an indictment against Wikipedia. And to think - I sent them hard earned wages. Now, they seem to be a tool of propaganda and it is a shame - a big shame. A really big shame.
But alternatives will emerge and they will be better.

What a shame!
Ignominy going down the drain big time now.....
Anyhow, I could change it myself and maybe somebody already has, and why should I waste my time and I know what I read because that is what I was looking for. The origin of the name. I think it matters.
So consider this, the name means trade and truckers are all about trading goods and so now it all makes way more sense to me, but it is a shame I had to dig around to get to it when it should have been proclaimed from the get go. That does not bode well....for Wikipedia in my mind.
Organic Chemistry is tricky.
Now, if you carry the proper fuel, diesel fuel, in the wrong sort of container it can get contaminated over time.....but not in an hour or two.
So truly - how will they know whether it is water for others or diesel fuel for the truckers?
While Truckers elsewhere might be vulnerable to some "false-flag" action, my confidence in the Canadian Truckers grows daily and that really warms my heart! Seriously - they seem to know what they are doing and it seems genuine and I think they speak for the Canadian Public at large. What sort of military would attack the Truckers because they must know that would spell the end of the country.

My support for the Canadian Truckers & Others in this effort is unwavering.
Peace,

Still, if you don't know your history, nor geography, then begs the question - who put you in your position?
Time to cut some strings is what I think.

ps - this is in regards to this article specifically and I don't blame the Russian Ambassador for getting frustrated with all the tiring stupidity.
Russia's Lavrov unhappy after talks with UK's top diplomat Truss
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has expressed frustration at the lack of progress made during high-stakes negotiations with his British counterpart, Liz Truss, as tensions between Moscow...However, citizens walking with cans of liquid are not criminals are they?
I mean are you living in a dream world?
Best wake up.
I am so glad that this guy also sees through Pierre. I was calling Pierre an opportunistic parasite and people started attacking me. These are the kind of people who will believe any idiot who uses fancy words while pretending that he cares, and there are more coming out of their rat holes as our fake 'saviors'. Humans are so easily fooled, they will get us into a different shit hole if they won't stay on guard.

Polly also noticed something odd about the organizers of the freedom convoy. We need to share this info everywhere.

Have you heard of Illuminati New World Order card game? This is weird. Look at one of their cards.

I am not sure if you saw this video. [Link] You know what I find strange about this. That she collapsed at the right moment when she said "and Jesus loves me the most". I am not religious and I believe that Jesus was a fictional character, but whoever inserted this character into the Bible had a good intention for humanity. Right after she collapsed after saying that about Jesus I think that there was an intervention from the other side. I already mentioned this but when my mom died at the hospital at 2:50 pm, I was at home in the living room and a song by Eric Clapton "tears in heaven" started to play at the exact time. The thing is that anything can be done from the other side (like magic) and I think that it was a sign from whoever that people should stop fucking playing this game because it is not funny anymore, there are kids being harmed and are also murdered with the toxic jab.
By the way, thanks for asking how I was doing; I am Ok. I hope all is well with you also. I am going to go to the protest tomorrow and I will see what people have to say about the situation. I hope we are going to have another great big crowd of warriors.
